Cantar (also spelled ''Shandar'' or ''Sandar'', they are also known as ''Shanar'' and ''Shandrar'') is a Sri Lankan Tamils, Tamil Caste system in Sri Lanka, caste found in Sri Lanka. They are traditionally occupied in Oil-pressing and cultivation. Etymology The Cantars are also known as ''Shanar.'' The term is proposed as an etymologically corruptive derivative of ''shandrar'', the older term for the community. History They were originally tree-climbers and toddy tappers. They claim origin from the Nadar (caste), Shanars of South India, who settled in Sri Lanka, initially in the Puttalam District, Puttalam region, due to social clashes and overpopulation in South India. The Jaffna Kingdom were known for exporting elephants, which were caught in the Vanni region and maintained by the Cantars.{{Cite book, url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yI4cAAAAMAAJ, title=Early Settlements in Jaffna: An Archaeological Survey, last=Ph.D. Ragupathy, first=Ponnampalam, date=1987, publisher=T ...
